@drjulie: 🥶 A painful video to make! 😂 See how freezing my hand looks at the end! This took too many attempts to get right 😂 ⁉️ Can you relate? But a video that had to be made as most of us go through this experience at some point in life. When life happens and the pain triggered is overwhelming, it is our human instinct to escape it. So, without conscious thought, we do whatever way seems to work the quickest. Maybe it's food or alcohol, staying super busy, or dissociating. But when we get good at numbing, we don't just numb the emotions we don't want. We also numb the feelings we do want. Feeling joy, love, enthusiasm and excitement start to be replaced with emptiness - a common experience of depression. 👉 For the best strategies to manage emotional pain, my New York Times Bestseller, 'Open When..' is now only £5.48 on Amazon! So grab a copy and let me talk you through the rest.
